Junk bug (Green Lacewing Larva)

Found in gardens, crops, and low-lying vegetation worldwide

Carnivorous; feeds on aphids, mites, scale insects, and other soft-bodied garden pests

Larvae carry a 'trash packet' on their backs composed of dead prey carcasses and organic debris as camouflage; they are highly active hunters

Highly beneficial as biological pest control; can occasionally deliver a small, harmless nip to human skin if handled
